Chapter 19 A Dish Delivered to Your Door
As Ge Bai left Lao Qian's office and turned into the corridor where the classroom was located, he saw He Leyao leaning against the wall by the classroom door, glancing in this direction from time to time.
"Gebai, you're back!"
He Leyao's eyes lit up as soon as she saw Ge Bai, and she ran and jumped towards her.
"What's going on? Huang Min said Lao Qian looks really angry. Is he alright?"
He Leyao, whose grades are mediocre, is most afraid of offending Lao Qian and is somewhat worried about Ge Bai.
Ge Bai smiled and shook his head.
"It's nothing, just ignore him."
She was about to return to the classroom with He Leyao when she heard a very discordant sound behind her.
"Hey hey hey, look who's here!"
"This is not Ge Baiyao, an outstanding student of our school."
"What kind of flowers and plants did you contract with? Haven't you taken them out to sunbathe yet?"
Ge Bai rolled his eyes and knew without turning around that it was Jiang Yan's group.
That smug tone was as annoying as ever.
He Leyao jumped up, turned around, put one hand on her hip, pointed the other at Jiang Yan and the others, and started cursing.
"What the hell? I don't know where they learned that weird, ambiguous attitude. It's disgusting."
Jiang Yan and his group of four strolled leisurely toward them.
Ignoring He Leyao's curses, he merely glanced at her before staring at Ge Bai again, speaking with ill intent.
"Hey, we just heard that Ge Bai became a spirit plant master, so we came here to congratulate him."
He Leyao didn't care about any of that.
"What's wrong with the spirit plant master? Did the spirit plant master eat your food or drink your water?"
"Jiang Yan, don't think you're so great just because you've contracted a spirit beast."
"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, you know? But your character is obviously a fraud."
He Leyao's small mouth was like a small machine gun, firing off a barrage of attacks at Jiang Yan.
Ge Bai watched coldly, and when He Leyao was catching her breath after exhaling, he tugged at her, signaling her to stop.
He Leyao listened to advice, but Jiang Yan and the others weren't ready to give up.
"He Leyao, go cool off somewhere else, what's it to you?"
Upon hearing this, He Leyao was about to jump up again, but Ge Bai pulled her behind him.
Jiang Yan became even more excited when he saw Ge Bai take a step forward.
"Ge Bai, where are you planning to work? Tell us quickly."
"We're classmates, so we should go and support our old classmate's business."
Ge Bai sneered, said nothing, but slowly rolled up his sleeves.
Jiang Yan subconsciously took a step back.
There's nothing I can do about it; it's a conditioned reflex.
Over the years, Ge Bai has always rolled up his sleeves like this before throwing a punch.
As if realizing that this step back made him seem a little timid, Jiang Yan deliberately raised his voice.
"Ge, Ge Bai, what are you planning to do? Let me tell you, we've both awakened our spiritual consciousness space and formed contracts with pet beasts."
"Stop acting like a thug all the time, it's just vulgar."
Hearing Jiang Yan's seemingly fierce but actually cowardly words, Ge Bai burst out laughing.
It's not that you're a thug who's provoking others; does that mean you're a thug just because you can't beat someone?
When dealing with someone like Jiang Yan, it's better to take action than to use words.
"Jiang Yan, stop talking nonsense. If you want to be beaten up, just say so."
At this moment, many classmates gathered around, pointing and whispering.
Jiang Yan was furious when he saw that he hadn't gained any advantage and that Ge Bai was acting like he was about to flip the table at the slightest provocation.
He really couldn't understand why Ge Bai wasn't keeping a low profile even at this point; what was there to be proud of?
Ge Bai didn't care what he was thinking. He rolled up his sleeves, lowered his head slightly, and only looked up at Jiang Yan.
His eyes were devoid of any warmth, as if he were ready to punch him in the face at any moment.
Jiang Yan considered it for a moment, thinking that he absolutely could not show weakness at this moment, so he gritted his teeth and shouted at Ge Bai.
"If you're so capable, let's have a pet battle."
Upon hearing this, Ge Bai raised an eyebrow and was about to say something when He Leyao objected.
"Jiang Yan, have you no shame? Calling out a battle between a spirit plant master and their pet?"
Jiang Yan, however, seemed to have won back the game and was beaming with pride.
"If Ge Bai is scared, she can refuse. Maybe she has extraordinary talent and has contracted an incredibly powerful spiritual plant."
The men behind him also started commotion, preparing to lift Ge Bai up.
More and more people gathered around, but they were all there to watch the drama unfold.
He Leyao was a little anxious. She glanced at Ge Bai and saw that she was still calm and composed. She couldn't help but tug at her clothes.
"Ge Bai, forget it, let's go."
Ge Bai glanced at He Leyao, then at Jiang Yan and the others.
This is truly a dish delivered right to our doorstep.
I had just come from Old Qian's place, and I was furious with nowhere to vent my anger when that bastard Jiang Yan delivered himself right to my doorstep and got beaten up.
Ge Bai wasn't worried at all about not being able to deal with Jiang Yan.
He only contracted a porcupine beast, which is considered a high-priced beginner pet. Even with Jiang Yan's family background, it's not easy for him to buy one.
Jinggang City happens to have a porcupine breeding base, so this pet is not rare. Jiang Yan must have just gone to contract it yesterday.
A juvenile porcupine beast has at most two basic initial skills, so what's there to be afraid of?
"Okay, let's go."
Ge Bai's words were not very clear, so He Leyao thought he was talking to her. She breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to pull Ge Bai into the classroom.
Jiang Yan thought so too, and immediately tried to stop him, his arrogance overflowing.
"Why are you running? Ge Bai, don't be a coward!"
He Leyao realized something was wrong at this moment. She pulled Ge Bai toward the classroom, but Ge Bai turned and walked toward the stairs.
Ge Bai was taken aback, as if realizing he hadn't explained things clearly. He tugged at He Leyao and said without turning his head.
"Heh, stop talking nonsense. We can't fight here, let's go to the arena."
As he spoke, he pulled He Leyao and walked towards the playground.
Although junior high school students do not yet have contracted spirit beasts or spirit plants, the school will still arrange demonstration courses on pet combat.
In the center of the playground of their Chongming District Public Junior High School is a standard circular arena with a diameter of 15 meters for pet battles.
Both the playground and the pet battle arena are open-air. Students who had just heard the two sides arguing rushed to the corridors and windows that offered views of the playground to secure the best viewing spots.
He Leyao, who was following Ge Bai toward the playground, was extremely worried.
"Ge Bai, you're not the one who's contracted with Chuisi Guliu Yao, don't be stubborn."
"Why don't we call Liu Hao and Wu Dami over?"
He kept muttering to himself.
Ge Bai let He Leyao hold his arm, but kept walking, patting her hand reassuringly at the same time.
"Don't worry, just keep an eye on things."
The playground wasn't far. After Ge Bai arrived, he didn't hesitate. He flipped over and climbed onto the opposite platform, looking down at Jiang Yan and the others.
Jiang Yan and his group lagged not far behind them. Watching Ge Bai nimbly step onto the stage, he felt a pang of regret.
I feel uneasy, but at this point, there's no other way.
Jiang Yan, with a gloomy face, also turned over and stood on the opposite platform.
Today was supposed to be a day for self-study, and most of the students had just formed contracts with spirit beasts and spirit plants, so they were in a state of excitement.
Hearing there was something exciting to see, how could I possibly resist?
The word spread like wildfire, and soon every corridor and window with a view of the arena was filled with little heads.
Whistles, cheers, and shouts rose and fell.
You can see figures appearing in the windows of many teachers' offices.
Jiang Yan stared at Ge Bai with a sinister look, making no move; he was starting to get nervous.
Ge Bai, on the other hand, was quite calm. With a thought, he summoned the Great Willow.
Before Ge Bai, the miniature form of the weeping willow gradually solidified.
The newly emerged willow tree looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings with some curiosity, its branches swaying as it gazed about.
Jiang Yan saw that Ge Bai had indeed summoned the ancient willow tree with weeping silk, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He then gave a wink to the people who had come with him to the side of the stage.
These lackeys immediately understood and burst into exaggerated laughter and loud mockery.
"This really is an ancient weeping willow."
"Look, look! Those little willow branches are still so tender, they can't withstand a porcupine bumping into them, can they?"
"Ge Bai, have you prepared your recovery fluids yet?"
He Leyao was furious, but at the same time she looked at Ge Bai with a worried expression, her hands clenched into fists.
She seemed much more nervous than Ge Bai.
On the stage, Ge Bai acted as if he hadn't heard anything, and bowed his head to give instructions to Da Liu.
"DaLiu, I just arranged a pet battle with someone. My opponent is a porcupine. The rules are simple: knock the opponent down or drive them off the arena to win."
Da Liu nodded. "A battle! I love it!"
"This time, it's not your practice partner. DaLiu, go all out and beat him up!"
Ge Bai explained it very clearly.
Da Liu nodded again. "You can use your full strength now! I'm happy."
Excited, Da Liu jumped off Ge Bai's hand. A flash of white light appeared, and he transformed back into his original form, which was more than two meters tall, on the arena.
